North, south, east and west.
Let's go around the horn and see how used farm equipment has been selling on recent auctions in the U.S. and Canada. Let's start our tour up north, specifically in southwest Ontario, Canada. These sale price highlights come from a farm auction last Saturday, May 15th.
MF 300 combine with 13-foot head, good: $1,100
NI 5209 discbine: $4,600
MF 33 drill, 16 run, single disc, excellent: $1,600
Kranz 10-foot packer, hydraulic lift, like new: $2,950
JD 335 round baler, like new, done very little: $6,000
JD 2130 tractor, diesel, after market cab, 6,600 hours: $4,300
JD 5400 MFWD tractor with JD 540 loader, canopy, 4,435 hours, excellent: $19,250
Most of the MF 300 combines I've seen sold throughout the years tend to sell with heads, as this particular MF 300 did. The $1,100 sale price is the highest I've seen since March 2003 and the fifth highest auction sale price in the last 14 years. The record high price for a MF 300 combine? That would be $2,500 for the MF 300 with a 10-foot grain head, both in good condition, sold back on 8/30/97 at a sale in southwest New York.
Now let's go south, as in southeast Texas, for sale price highlights from a May 1st auction down in the Lone Star state.

Priefert squeeze chutes (2): $1,150; $1,800

Some brands are just synonymous with the products they make. If I say Maytag, what would you think of? Dishwashers, of course. Firestone, you think of tires. If I say post drivers, what brand jumps to mind? Shaver. Yep, it's got to be Shaver. Click on the link below to view (44) Shaver post drivers I've seen sold at auction over the last 14 years, including the HD 10 sold for $1,500 on the May 1st auction in southeast Texas.
